Ardent Health Joins Forces with Qventus to Boost Perioperative Growth
4 October 2024
Qventus, a leader in AI-driven healthcare software, has announced that Ardent Health, a prominent healthcare provider across the U.S., has adopted Qventus’ Perioperative Solution to enhance its robotics programme and boost surgical growth.
The AI-powered platform optimises operating room (OR) usage by aligning surgeries with strategic goals and surgeon preferences, ensuring that the right surgeries take place in the appropriate rooms at the right times.
This solution, coupled with market insights from Qventus, has contributed to increased surgical access, improved robot utilisation, and a sevenfold return on investment (ROI) annually.
The challenges Ardent faced with OR efficiency are common in perioperative care, where capacity is often not only underused but also misallocated. For example, 30-40% of surgeries in robotic rooms are for non-robotic cases, or procedures better suited to an Ambulatory Surgical Centre are scheduled in the main OR.
These inefficiencies can lead to delays, with patients waiting between one and three months for surgery, and longer for non-urgent procedures.
By applying artificial intelligence, machine learning, and behavioural science, Qventus’ Perioperative Solution helps partners like Ardent reduce wait times and improve surgical care.
The platform prioritises minimally invasive robotic cases and maximises total case volume by filling open OR time, while also allowing surgeons to release unused block time early. In addition, the system markets available time slots based on surgeon preferences, historical data, and facility capabilities.
These targeted marketing efforts allow surgeons to perform high-quality procedures while ensuring optimal use of resources.
Qventus also provides Ardent with valuable market insights, using billions of data points to help engage independent surgeons and identify growth opportunities.
The platform integrates data from Ardent’s electronic health record (EHR) system with claims data to give a complete overview of the surgical programme and market, referral networks, and performance metrics.
Ardent chose Qventus after testing several other solutions due to its ability to deliver faster results and higher ROI. The software also makes booking surgeries easier for staff, improving access to care without increasing the workload for clinical teams.
This development follows Qventus’ launch of AI Operational Assistants, designed to handle administrative tasks, allowing healthcare professionals to focus on patient care. These assistants analyse real-time data, predict patient needs, and address operational inefficiencies, further streamlining healthcare operations for providers like Ardent Health.
